So far, I bought every book on FreeBSD market. I was a little disappointed by this book. The author has made much detail many attributes of FreeBSD go waived. A new user will not find more detailed steps on the operating system is running. An experienced user will not have much use for this book. However, there is a great book for anyone who provides an overview of FreeBSD. In my opinion the best work of FreeBSD for my money was and still is
FreeBSD: An Open-source operating system for PCs, Second Edition (with CD-ROM) by Annelise Anderson
(Paperback)
Rating: 3 / 5
This book can be useful for those who are new to FreeBSD. I found that many topics are too general and does not provide detailed information for experienced users.
If you’re new to FreeBSD, so this book is for you. If you deepen your knowledge and are looking for a book on a higher level of experience.

This can be a complete reference in terms of themes, but it’s not in my opinion in terms of coverage FreeBSD. This is impossible, if the title of a book, how is one that I think you need to have done – at least better than the authors.
I am establishing a network FreeBSD. I support this book in this endeavor, and it helped, but the configuration issues that I address today is not the answer in this book is directed. For example, the chapter on the file server, there are many discussions about the basics of FTP, samba and other servers, but it is not a guide on how to configure a server plain vanilla file, which are primarily used as a great hard for a number of clients on the network or customer Unix or Windows clients. This was a very useful discussion, and it was not there. Instead, there is a short (I think) a discussion on Samba, including the installation, but nothing to troubleshoot if something goes wrong.
I am the first to admit that I am not a guru on this operating system, please do not take much more of this review is that you are a guru. Remember that “track” may be a little misleading to define, at least as I have.

This is a good overview of FreeBSD is an ideal quick guide for beginners and for experienced users. The clarity of the writing is wonderful and makes things more arcane FreeBSD more accessible for the general public. Works such as these are very important to ensure that the free operating systems spread among an audience beyond the traditional open-source community extends further. He strikes a great balance to have with all the necessary information and too much information, often unique users. Great job!

I have read this book that I have FreeBSD, without access to the computer. I think FBSD has enough online docs to configure and manage the system.
Overall, the book has proved as effective as a reference during the installation of FBS and control systems. As a longtime user of UNIX / Linux, I do not have the background and, above all, the book used as a reference rather than read from beginning to end. I have almost everything I wanted, with the notable exception of a programming language problem kernel module.
I think the book is very good for beginners and FBSD system for Linux capable switch as well.
